Athletics Designate Adam Rosales For Assignment

The Athletics announced that they have designated infielder Adam Rosales for assignment. The move will allow the club to clear a 25-man roster spot for the newly-acquired Alberto Callaspo.

Rosales hit just .193/.268/.319 in 153 plate appearances for Oakland this season. The light-hitting 30-year-old has significant experience at second base, third base, and shortstop with some time spent at first base. This marks the second time that Rosales has been designated for assignment by the A's this month with the first one coming on July 8th.
